Artist's description:

This is an outdoor painting created in Zeeland, Netherlands, in a nature reserve near the town of Oostburg. The focus here is on that thundery sky and the way the special light before a storm makes the objects in the landscape appear darker and everything more clearly outlined. There is additional contrast between the yellow carpet of blooms in the foreground and the dark outlines of the trees on the horizon. The water has lost its blueness as the thundery atmosphere takes over. I had to work quickly because the light was constantly changing and I even had an interruption for some spots of rain. I did manage to get finished before the thunder though!

“Before the Thunder” is one of a series of paintings of the Zeeland region. It comes mounted and accompanied by a certificate of authenticity signed by the artist.
